Trump announces $100B investment in U.S. from TSMC, calls it 'most powerful company' in world
The new capital brings TSMC’s total investment in the U.S. to $165 billion and will go toward building five new fabrication facilities in Arizona.
The ability of TSMC to build cheaper and more complicated silicon chips,
is tied to its highly educated work force, and their strict code of work
discipline.
Perhaps TSMC can hire the best of the laid off federal workers.
One basic problem is that the pay rate in America, would be MUCH higher
than the pay rate in Taiwan. America could manufacture the most sophisticated
silicon chips in the world, but not necessarily more cheaply.
And then there is the problem that the president has ignored before, when pushing
for more housing in Arizona -- there is no water down here.
And, if America abandons Taiwan to the Communist Chinese, then the owners of
TSMC will have a lot of ill will toward the president.
